Adam Schlesinger, the co-founder of pop-rock band Fountains of Wayne, passed away from complications related to the COVID 19.
It is still not clear how the Emmy winning songwriter, who was in his 50s, contracted the deadly virus. Adam was sedated and put on ventilators for several days, Fox News reported.
According to a statement by his band's attorney, Adam had been hospitalised with Coronavirus. While he did make small improvements over the last few days, his condition got critical and was unable to recover.
On March 31, a fan account claimed that the songwriter had been put in a medically induced coma as a result of the disease. His girlfriend, however, told Variety at that time the artist was not in coma, but was being treated.
